NRK’s much lauded Back In The Box series transports us back to the mid-90s Chicago house renaissance, courtesy of that master of the jackin’ beats, DJ Sneak.
Following on from previous episodes from Joey Negro, Louie Vega and Dave Clarke, DJ Sneak plunders deep into his record collection and pulls out a double disc mix that showcases the tunes from yesteryear that rocked the party time and time again, and can still do the damage on the floor all these years later.
Forgotten gems from the likes of Blue Boy, Bob Sinclar, Ian Pooley, Moon II Swing, Cricco Castelli, Secret Ingredients (AKA Tom Middleton) and Blak n Spanish are featured, alongside staple club cuts from that period in time from I-Cube (with Daft Punk on the remix), Cajmere feat. Dajae, Mousse T, Sneak’s own “You Can’t Hide From Your Bud”, Cheek and Derrick Carter’s ace remix of Markus Nikolai’s “Bushes”.
